## Abstract The ontogeny of the dentition of the rainbow trout (__Salmo gairdneri__) has been studied by examining serial sections of 27 hatchlings ranging in age from the day of hatching to 34 days after. By the end of the first month after hatching, the dentition of the rainbow trout consists of

Abstract
A histological study was undertaken on the jaws of three rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) for which the previous dental record of each tooth position had been obtained by taking wax impressions of the jaws twice weekly. This has provided accurate data concerning the time sequence of events in the life cycle of the teeth. The periods of development leading to initial calcification, resorption and exfoliation of its predecessor, and ankylosis were rapid and each was calculated as taking no more than one week out of a life cycle, in the case of a mandibular tooth of a fish of body length 15 cm, of approximately 16 weeks. There was some evidence that resorption of a functioning tooth could commence internally as well as externally. Eruptive movements have to be accomplished rapidly and some contribution appears to be made by an uprighting of the tooth from its angled, developmental position.

## Abstract The present paper describes the pattern of tooth replacement in the upper jaw of two size ranges of rainbow trout (standard lengths 12β15 cm and 20β23 cm) as determined from wax impressions of the dentitions taken twice weekly on anaesthetised fish. There was considerable variation in t
## Abstract Gill development begins on the sixth day of incubation at 10^Β°^C and is complete by 31 days (hatching). Gill arches are formed by fusion and perforation of ectoderm and endoderm across the pharyngeal wall. A primary branchial artery forms within each arch and a second branchial artery f

Female rainbow trout were rendered either hypothyroid by ipodate injection or hyperthyroid by immersion in a 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T,) solution or by feeding T3-supplemented pellets, and ovarian function was evaluated from the gonadosomatic index (gonad weight . l o 2 \* body weight-' = GSI),
